Research Alert: Tdc Posts Q1 Beats As Public Cloud Arr Grew 13% Y/y

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

TDC reported Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $0.88, beating consensus by $0.11, while total revenue of $444M grew 6% Y/Y, ahead of expectations by $14M. GAAP EPS of $3.47 was boosted by a $359M pre-tax benefit from the SAP litigation settlement, which provided $480M in gross proceeds. Strong cloud momentum continued with public cloud ARR growing 13% Y/Y to $686M, while total ARR reached $1.492B, up 3% Y/Y, demonstrating continued stabilization in the recurring revenue base. Management expects Q2 recurring revenue of -2% to flat Y/Y and total revenue of -4% to -2% Y/Y, suggesting near-term quarterly moderation. However, full-year 2026 guidance was largely reaffirmed with total ARR growth of 2%-4% and non-GAAP EPS of $2.55-$2.65, while cash flow guidance increased to $642M-$662M. We believe the significant margin expansion, with non-GAAP operating margin up 550 bps to 27.3%, reflects strong operational leverage and effective cost discipline as the company continues optimizing its structure.

Research Alert: Expd: Q1 Results Top Expectations

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:EXPD delivered strong Q1 results, with EPS of $1.71 versus $1.47 prior year, significantly beating our $1.37 estimate and $1.33 consensus forecast. Revenue rose 4% to $2.7B from $2.67B, exceeding our $2.59B forecast as Airfreight and Customs strength offset Ocean weakness. Mixed segment performance reflected market bifurcation, with Airfreight revenue surging 14% to $1.03B on favorable pricing while Ocean revenue plummeted 23% to $599M due to capacity oversupply pressuring both pricing and volumes. Management expects global capacity oversupply to persist near-term despite maintaining Ocean profitability. Customs/Other revenue jumped 17% to $1.15B, with double-digit growth across all products, due to hyperscaler and high-value technology customer demand plus tariff complexity. Operating margins reached the company's 30% target despite Middle East disruptions, with productivity gains from 2025 AI and technology investments beginning to materialize.
